Default Sport pack = plus 44 pounds weight

The figures are up in the configurator on nissan.co.jp so a 370z base is 1480kgs sport 1500kgs 7at adds 22 pounds and touring adds 44 pounds too...hope it helps

So it looks like my initial guesstimate of about 50 pounds for the sport pack was right on target...

Thanks for the info.

Can you post a link where you can configure this thing? I can't read Japanese and I am just clicking around and don't know what the heck I'm clicking on lol.

Is 44lbs worth the package given its handling and suspension?

Much of that weight is coming from the Akebono BBK. They are great brakes, but very heavy.

Alot of G35 owners who upgraded to these brakes from the G37 Coupe will concur.

Well going off those specs 1280kg converts to 2821lbs for the base model Z. No way in hell is it that light. That is unless the JDM version is a whole hell of a lot lighter than the USDM version

I sort of doubt the gain is only 44 lbs.

the much, much larger tires seem like they would add some serious weight themselves. and wouldn't you have to add both packages together or is the sport available on any interior trim?

The OEM 19's are suppose to be "lightweight". If Nissan did a good job at keeping the weight down, aside from the fact that the tires are wider, it shouldn't add too much weight.

Again, those BBK's are really heavy.

The forged 19s were also supposed to be lightweight, but they weighed 30lbs. Nissan BSes far too much for me to believe a word they say. Motormouth is right, the 19'' tires do add a lot of weight over the 18s (30lbs each tire). The OEM Yokohamas weigh 24lbs. That's a 24lb gain just from the tires.

I don't live in the city but work in 19103 (18th & Market). I was just curious is all, haven't seen anyone on the forum from Philly.

Maybe when I get my 370z, we can race our Z's on the Schuylkill or Kelly Drive.
